This should be simple, but I'm getting tangled up in the dot syntax--and
maybe in multidimensional arrays, too. It's been a long week this month.
I want to display a list of words, chosen from several lists. Ideally, I'd
like to do something like:
wordList = masterList[n]
repeat with i = 1 to wordList.count
put wordList.aWord[i]
end repeat
The line I am looking to convert to a list looks like this:
"Start;Lingo;C;Pascal"
Currently I have this code to create the list:
the itemDelimiter = ";"
repeat for i = 1 to numLines
theText = masterText.line[i].item[1] --I know this works
if theText = "Start" then
addProp(gWordList, #listStart, [:]
repeat with j = 2 to masterList.line[i].item.count
addProp(gWordList, #aWord, masterList.line[i].item[j]
end repeat
end if
end repeat
I know I'm not building the list right--I think I want a list something
like this:
[#listStart: [#aWord: "Lingo", #aWord: "C", #aWord: "Pascal"], #listStart
[#aWord: "Apple", #aWord, "Dell", #aWord, "Gateway"]]
I've been working on this too long, and I'm all turned around. Where
(probably multiple places) am I going wrong?
Cordially,
